The National - Empire Line Lyrics

You've been sleeping for miles

So what did you see?

Here the sky's been falling white flowers

And there's ice in all the trees

I've been tapping the table

I've been hoping to drink

There's a line that goes all the way from my childhood to you



Can't you find a way?

Can't you find a way?

You are in this too

Can't you find a way?



I've been trying to see where you're going, but you're so hard to follow

And I don't think we're getting anywhere any time soon

We have so much to cover and I don't know what I'm expecting

You keep saying so many things that I wish you won't



Can't you find a way?

Can't you find a way?

You are in this too

Can't you find a way?



I've been talking about you to myself

'Cause there's nobody else

And I want what I want

And I want everything

I want everything



I've been talking about you to myself

'Cause there's nobody else

And I want what I want

And I want everything

I want everything



Can't you find a way?

Can't you find a way?

You are in this too

Can't you find a way?
